Synopsis:

Dysfunctional families and indie films go together like peanut butter and chocolate, and Birds of America, directed by playwright Craig Lucas, has dysfunction in abundance. Morrie (Matthew Perry), who raised his younger siblings Jay (Ben Foster) and Ida (Ginnifer Goodwin) after their father's death, now lives in the family home with his wife, Betty (Lauren Graham). Morrie is a college prof desperately seeking tenure, and the person who is most in a position to make that happen for Morrie is his friend Paul (Gary Wilmes), who lives right next door with his wife, Laura (Hilary Swank), in their perfect house, with their perfectly maintained flower bed, with their perfectly adorable infant.

The film is about two brothers and a sister, all of whom have a difficult time loving each other. The younger two were more or less raised by the older brother, and they treat him with scorn and act out all the time. It's an extremely tender, quiet look at family; a gentle comedy.

Three siblings who don't live near each other are brought together by dubious circumstances.
